What is proteomics?

Proteomics is a discipline aimed at studying proteins in a biological system. Through genomic information, transcriptomic activity translates genes that encode the sequence of amino acids to create proteins. This entire set of proteins in an organism, also known as the proteome, provides a complex, yet vital source of information about the structure and function of cells. Advancements in this area can provide ground-breaking discoveries to better understand diseases, biomarkers, and development of therapeutics.

Just as next-generation sequencing (NGS) revolutionized genomics and transcriptomics with unprecedented speed, accuracy, and scalability, this technology is now being applied to study proteins.

How is proteomics used in multiomic profiling?

Detection and identification of proteins coupled with other omic techniques provide a comprehensive view of how cells function and their activity. Since many different proteins can come from a single gene, the full spectrum of analytical options provides a rich landscape of information for insights to identify targets and therapies for many areas of study.

A simultaneous approach to quantifying gene expression and protein
